UNIX SYSTEM PROGRAMMING NOTES
UNIT 1 INTRODUCTION
UNIX AND ANSI STANDARDS
UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in 1969 by a group of AT&T employees at Bell Labs, including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Douglas McElroy and Joe Ossanna. Today UNIX systems are split into various branches, developed over time by AT&T as well as various commercial vendors and non-profit organizations.
The ANSI C Standard
In 1989, American National Standard Institute (ANSI) proposed C programming language standard X3.159-1989 to standardise the language constructs and libraries. This is termed as ANSI C standard. This attempt to unify the implementation of the C language supported on all computer system. The major differences between ANSI C and K&R C [Kernighan and Ritchie] are as follows: Function prototyping Support of the const and volatile data type qualifiers. Support wide characters and internationalization. Permit function pointers to be used without dereferencing. Function prototyping ANSI C adopts C++ function prototype technique where function definition and declaration include function names, arguments’ data types, and return value data types. This enables ANSI C
